Hello co-travelers down the methylation pathway. I've been absent and then barely here because I picked up an intestinal bug and my gastrointestinal tract decided to turn itself inside out. That was 2 weeks ago exactly. I couldn't even hold water down.
After the initial "emptying" I ate nothing, but got to work on rehydration & minerals. Then grapefruit on day 3. Then white rice. Then a bit of red meat. I'm making progress, but I have 7.5 pounds/3.5 kilos to regain.
So the active B12 protocol went out the window. And to tell you the truth, I was getting more and more sensitive to B12s/folate even before that. It was discouraging me. I was down to 1000 mcg MeB12 / 1500 mcg AdB12 / 1000 mcg Mefolate per day, plus cofactors.
Whenever I went above that, or whenever I added Dr. Lynch's B-minus, I would get:
hot flashes
anger & dwelling on people who've treated me poorly
neck pain in the center right smack between my skull & my atlas
crushing fatigue to the point of being unable to work or do household stuff
I have tried a half-dozen times to add in that B-complex that everyone says is so important. After this bacterial thing (which also got my DH two days later), I was so clueless about how to restart the protocol that I started trying @ahmo's method of asking my body. (I have not had very good luck with strong muscle testing in the past -- my body has a habit of "flipping" yes & no around in the middle of a session with any practitioner.)
I did manage to get a few answers before yes & no became identical, LOL. One answer was that 1/4 capsule of the B-minus was too much, and I should try 1/8. And that it was because that was all the B2 I could tolerate.
Edited to say that the 1/8 capsule brought on those infernal symptoms again.
To be continued...
